    That's a lot of work to replace a paper map and compass.

    I love my '98 Volvo V70 wagon. Most comfortable car I've ever had. I travel and rent a lot of the newer cars and none of them I'd want to have to spend +$30k to "upgrade." Yeah, the new Avalon is very nice, but not $30k nicer. Did I mention that I got the V70 for $1,800. It has traction control, ABS, power windows, 4 wheel disc, sun roof, and the nicest power leather seats.

    Even my 2001 Volvo S60 has side bags.

    I just hope they do this in the memory of Grissom, White, and Chaffee. That was one of my first early childhood scars.

  6. But what if he was running only UUCP and was willing to wait a week for a full routing table?

  7. Understood. I was at a NANOG 21 BOF discussing getting major websites an allocation when they might not be able to justify a /21 because they are just a website but still needed multi-homing. This was when Amazon was just a website. I was the one running BGP for them then. I was the one that got them their ASN and first netblock.

    My wife got flyingcroc.com an ASN and netblock the two years before, and a second netblock on the first try back in 1999. We're not new to this game.

    It was a joke, son.

  8. Can he get a BGP session with them?

    Yup. Bring Your Own Device is just corporate new-speak for "externalizing equipment costs to our employees".

    But this then internalizes IT support costs for all those different devices. I'm glad the company I work for issues current iPhones with AirWatch MDM. It makes it so much easier to trouble-shoot.

    Good comment, sorry I'm out of mods.

  11. Besides the fact that 90% of your country is completely uninhabitable by any sizable human population and you're all cluster-fucked to the coasts?

    And this differs from the US how?

  12. As much as I love watching Master Chef Australia, This is why I couldn't move there.

    Agreed 100%.

    Every computer that I land at my company has an ad blocker. Best security I can come up along with Kaspersky Enterprise.

    BTW: I just installed several new fiber patch bays and included your .sig with them.

    Okay, the preview showed the "snark" tag that I put on the first line but the published one didn't show that. Now I look like an asshole. Damn you to hell slashcode!

    Yeah Bill, some advice from someone that waited until Thursday to sign up for an account unlike those of us that saw the future and signed up on Tuesday back 18 years ago!

    I agree totally with what you say, but, like me, you are still in the comments here. We are both sad bastards. Can I buy you a drink sometime?

    I agree on expanding the friends/foe limit. I capped out about a decade ago and would have to unfriend someone to add a new friend, which I would really hesitate to do.

    That was the training we got in the chAir Force. In basic training we shot 100 rounds, just enough, God forbid, we actually had to use a gun. The rest was that if we found a gun, leave it alone and call the SPs and go back to your desk.
